Straying from the most direct course...

Every wiggle, every squiggle, something new learned... broadening perspective... broadening experience... revealing more of myself...

Perhaps this is the best way for me to learn... twists and turns, often in directions I wouldn't choose... but perhaps overall for the best... I cannot see all...

Glow In The Dark Writing?

What if there is knowledge that can only be attained in the dark? But it's writing that must first be bathed in light in order to be fully seen....

If there were a Parental Version of Myself

I think if there were a parental version of myself, parenting me... the parental version of me would say, "It's your responsibility to hone your talents... for yourself... for those around you... for the creative forces that went into you, the forces that have brought together the elements of your being, the You-ness of you."

A Compassionate Frame of Mind Versus A Judgmental Frame of Mind?

What enables us to engage in one from of mind over the other? I often wonder when we seek love, understanding, and seeing versus taking on a judgmental and more punishing frame of mind.

Each frame of mind creates different feelings within us... One creates a kind of inherent joy and grace within us, while the other creates afflicted feelings that are all twisted and unstable. So why does it seem easier to choose the latter when such feelings can be quite uncomfortable? Perhaps there's a secret pleasure in engaging in an afflicted way?

Sighs that Bust Me Open

Sometimes there are moments of seeing something that make us sigh, and immediately it feels like we're granted open access to our hearts, feeling the energy of connection that exists.

Perceptions and The Imagination

It seems like the interplay of our perceptions and the imaginal mind play a huge role in our actions and behaviors... Our perception of another being, how we imagine them to be can easily influence how we act toward that being.

To see a being as "beautiful" influences so much in our actions toward them. What happens when we see more and more beauty in all beings around us?
